Segregation between breeds and local breed proportions in genetic and genomic models for crossbreds
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023 Abstract Background The breeding value of a crossbred individual can be expressed as the sum of the contributions from each of the contributing pure breeds. In theory, the breeding value should account for segregation between breeds, which results from the difference in the mean contribution of loci between breeds, which
